New gamer to Destiny: Initial Impressions of Destiny on PS4 Platform

Hi all. I'm new to Destiny. Given the recent great price, I decided to purchase this game ($40 USD) after playing it for a couple of days (via the free demo on the PS4). I'm a casual gamer who plays for 1-2 hours a day. I have a successful career in Banking/Financial Services. Here are my initial impressions. I'm sharing them w/ the Community Manager and game developers so that they may have more data points to work with. Of course, they're free to discard my opinions altogether. Promise that it won't hurt my feelings. Game looks great out of the box. Initial cutscenes are dramatic and nice productions. Not to crazy about the Speaker's voiceovers and a few others. They sound elitist in my opinion and are a bit of a turnoff. Gameplay gunfight and melee mechanics are outstanding. Haven't had this much fun shooting enemies since playing Battlefield Bad Company 2. Graphics and sound effects are equally outstanding. Best sound effects I've heard since playing Battlefield Bad Company 2. The accompanying music score is also outstanding but I wish there was an option to adjust its volume or turn it off completely. Still, I'm glad the music is of the orchestral style and not some heavy metal racket. All in all, I think Destiny is an outstanding game so far and am enjoying playing it immensely. I don't intend to grind for things as I'm a casual gamer and don't have the time or interest to pursue such things in a devoted fashion. Instead, I'm going to take things as they come and remember that I'm playing a game to have fun. I'll continue to post my impressions here in this thread as I continue playing this outstanding game. Thank you Bungie for giving us an outstanding game to play, as well as your continued support of it.
